CHAPTER 7: GASOLINE CONSUMPTION/CAR MAINTENANCE- Gasoline consumption is a required expense for most individuals so related expenses must be considered. Figure gas expense by using the current cost of a gallon of gasoline, the city mpg average of your vehicle, distance to/from work, stores, weekend trips, etc. The student should also determine which gas station will be used and why. In addition to gas consumption, the student will include estimated maintenance costs (i.e. oil changes, lube, filters, tires, etc) associated with their particular vehicle. Remember to consider factors such as age, type, or model of the car when determining the monthly amount to set aside.
